Yeah.. I'm starting to think more and more that Jason is in fact in complete knowledge and control of what he's doing and saying, and is some sort of egotistical monster getting kicks out of all this. Which means, all this time.. the joke has been on us. It's about time we got out some flaming torch...

hi folks im a new member with two questions: 2, I have watched countdown for close to ten years and i'm still not sure of the maximum number of consonants or vowels that can be selected in one round. This isn't a question. 2) a contestant must pick at least 3 vowels and 4 consonants in each round T...

Craig Beevers wrote:Christ Liverpool just got outplayed for large periods by Reading. I know Torres didn't get out of second gear, probably his mind is on what club he's going to move to in the summer, but wow. Awful performance.

Well, at least they didn't lose. At home. To a League One side. Even worse performance.

Well, atheists are just those who oppose God in their hearts. That's why they are invariably troubled and feel the need to speak loudly about their (lack of) beliefs. Everyone knows God exists, because that is how they live, but some manage to pretend to themselves that they don't believe in God, by...

I agree that Rooney is having a better season this year. He's certainly scored more goals than he usually does. He normally gets about 12 league goals a season, a really bad return for a supposedly world-class striker. I don't care if he doesn't always play as an 'out-and-out' striker, he plays in a...

To be honest, I couldn't care less, but why have you tried to force the 'Indifferent' people into rigid opinions? If there was just an 'Indifferent' option, I would vote for that, but you've tried to force me into saying either 'I don't use the buttons' or 'Apterous is for gays', neither of which is...

Well, thanks for taking the time to comment on all of my entries. I was thinking of counter-commenting on all of your comments, but then realised that would be ridiculous. However, feel free to make a list yourself, and I will dissect it and give my opinions.

I decided to make a list of players who I feel are generally overrated or underrated, by people and by the media. Here it is: Overrated Cesc Fabregas - Has no pace, can't tackle, and generally seems to have an evil aura surrounding him. Has quite good ball control, but is nowhere near being a world ...

Well I'm not really a proper Liverpool fan, but they're definitely my favourite team in the Prem. To be honest, I started following them when Robbie Keane moved there because it seemed such a perfect match. I still think it was completely nonsensical to sell him. Anyway, I've watched most of the tel...

Alright, Beevers is right. Benitez is shit, he has to go. Reina is probably the worst keeper in the league right now; He was balding at age 23 so there should have been alarm bells ringing when we signed him. He's washed out at age 27. Lucas isn't good enough, Glen Johnson doesn't look interested an...

I was trying to ascertain whether Chris knew the word 'allotrope' before either of them buzzed in. I wasn't sure, but 1.5 seconds into it I was trying to read their expressions and find out whether either was going to get it. I wasn't too sure, but I was pleased when Chris buzzed in, because I could...

If anyone is gonna start keeping height stats, for the last CoC: Jon Coles was the tallest, DoD was the shortest (bear in mind this includes Kai) and Tony Warren was the widest. I was the coolest. I don't remember Jon Coles being particularly tall. I don't think there were any really tall contestan...

Arsenal again played shockingly bad, and were extremely lucky to avoid defeat. They've been really lucky this season so far. I can easily see Liverpool overhauling them. Arsenal will probably finish outside the top 4.

Liverpool have had a shocking season so far, no-one can disguise that. They'll still definitely finish in the top 4 though. Anyone who watched the Arsenal game saw Liverpool tear apart Arsenal in the first half - they were totally dominant. At the moment they're very weak defensively. Arsenal's firs...

On the subject of hostility; This forum is a little bit more hostile than real life. But it is a lot less hostile than the average internet forums, as many would also testify. My opinion is this; Often, people who spend a lot of time on their own on the internet/computer become a little warped, self...

I do think Craig makes some valid points. Ali is a little bit overrated. Definitely a contender for the greatest boxer ever; definitely not the greatest sportsman ever. On the subject of boxing, I'm a big fan of Mike Tyson. In his early years, he was incredible to watch, explosive and ferocious, all...

Apologies for my madness in aptochat last night. No racism or homophobia involved, just a good old nervous breakdown. Haha, excellent. Thanks for the tip, never would have looked otherwise. My favourite bit: 2009-12-01 01:37:00 Ben Hunter: i hate a girl Yeah, thanks Ben, that was well worth reading...

What? It was a genuinely funny moment in the show. The expression on Jeff's face when he realised he had been talking to an empty seat was priceless - Susie could barely contain her excited grin. It turned out Dave Beasant was under the table making origami shapes out of one of the contestant's pape...

One of my favourite moments of the finals was when Dave Beasant was in dictionary corner, and Jeff asked him to play a game. "I'll start saying popular western holiday festivals and you have to complete the name," Jeff said, grinning. He started by saying, "Eas-", looking at Dave expectantly, who pa...

It wasn't just the incredible, brazen audacity with which he cunningly guided the ball with his hand. It was the devilish grin on his face afterwards, the refusal to take any responsibility, the inability to even consider that he did wrong, that makes Thierry Henry's act unbelievably despicable. He'...

I was putting together a team for Eggheads a few months ago. Our name was to be 'Lightning Wind - Knowledge of Ezekiel', but we only had 3 definite people and I never got round to applying. In general, my general knowledge is a lot better than my Countdown skills. If anyone here wants to put togethe...

Well, these aren't from November, and they aren't specific moustaches, and they weren't grown in the name of cancer, but it seems that Mikey and myself have you all beat. http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af185/richardbrittain/mikeypolice.jpg http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af185/richardbritta...

The problem with the word "Jew" is that it has at least two distinct meanings. People make fun of religion but then they stop at Jews because they think they are being racist - they don't seem to realise that giving two concepts the same word doesn't make them the same thing! Anyway, which Jews are...

David, you made an excellent point; that was one of the most intelligent posts I've read on the internet in some time. However, you should not let your faith waver; do not pander to the hidden machine.
